    No you are not generous. France is ranked 15th by FIBA. The "D-league teams" (and there are plenty of them) will not play in Turkey. For example I watched Sweden-Albania and Sweden-Belarus live the last couple of weeks in European division B At least I got to see one nba player (Jonas Jerebko of the Pistons). Basketball is fun

    Benig beaten twice by Canada doesn't put them in the elite for sure. Maybe they are still in the NBA of international basketball, but in that case they are the Clippers or Bobcats, at least at the moment.

    It might change but they are short of good players and really suck (and for the record, I'm French).

    Yes I can agree on that. Just remember it could be worse... Cheers.

    hum well dude, France is not in the NBA of International BB to me. Not for an entire game. Not with what i saw in the paint. A good quarter here and there but that's it.
    This team would not get out of the first round in Euroleague (IMO)

    Well... that's France for you. They get beaten twice by Canada, then manage to get their act together for a great defensive performance to deny Spain in the first game of the Worlds. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but that's the way with France (and not only in basketball).

    I think it makes sense. France can't win a game if they allow more than 70-75 pts. To do it they need to give 100% on defense. This is not really expected in preparation games.

    Big surprise they beat Spain but France still has some nba level talent on their team and D-teams doesn't.
